Your PC is down due to a Kubuntu issue—need guidance!
I've reviewed your situation. You're experiencing issues with booting into Windows despite installing Kubuntu as a dual-boot. The fact that you can access your files on the SSD suggests Windows hasn't been completely erased. You mentioned using Kubuntu's file manager to restore your OS, which is a good approach.
To regain access to Windows, try resetting your BIOS/UEFI settings to default or reinstalling the bootloader. If you're stuck in Kubuntu, consider using a live USB of Windows to safely restore your system. For deleting Kubuntu, ensure you have a clean backup before proceeding. Regarding the 19Hz stuttering, it might be related to hardware limitations or outdated drivers—check your graphics card and update them if possible. Reinstalling Windows could help if the installation process was interrupted.
The GPU is likely already set up on your SSD. The GRUB menu displays the available devices and drivers for your system.
Don't believe anything is broken. Begin with a BIOS update, then safely shut it down (avoid doing so while running). Restart the system and install one or more operating systems—everything should return to normal.
Your GPU is a GTX 1060 EVGA SC. Kubuntu likely needs OpenGL, though that’s not the main issue. GRUB seems unfamiliar—disabling the hard drive triggers an error, but nothing functions. You may need to reinstall Kubuntu or Windows, and it might help to check GPT/MBR settings. Consider replacing Kubuntu with a system that doesn’t rely on GRUB if possible.
